San Francisco January 5–11: New Year’s Eve Do-Over Party & Vintage Paper Fair

The best of what to do in and around San Francisco this week

A unique music festival, a New Year’s Eve do-over party, and a sandwich called #baconslut will help start your 2017 off with a bang. If you’d prefer something a little more low-key, then head down to Morgan Hill for an under-the-radar winetasting or to the San Francisco County Fair Building for the Vintage Paper Fair, which showcases postcards, trading cards, and more.

January 3 | Now open: RestaurantThe GastropigOakland’s Uptown neighborhood has a new breakfast and lunch sandwich option in The Gastropig, located two blocks from the 19th Street BART station. Standards like grilled cheese and avocado toast anchor the menu, which has both dine-in and grab-and-go options. Sure to be most craved is #baconslut, a hot beast with applewood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and an over-easy egg that may or may not be an intentional homage to Eggslut, a popular breakfast spot in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.2123 Franklin St., Oakland | website
